This year, we once again saw the comeback of houndstooth trend from coats and dresses to accessories and shoes. This trend was notably popularized in the 1990´s when high end designers such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Emporio Armani, and Moschino adapted the houndstooth pattern to their collections. To date, houndstooth is a well-embraced trend in Hollywood and among the high-fashion socialites.
